I'm surprised that the tariff hit to farmers hasn't helped Heitkamp more. The only way those tariffs will get reversed is with a Congress that is actually willing to disagree with Trump on policy instead of being afraid of disagreeing.
Tariffs are really a longer term thing, the longer they last the more they trickle down and it could be devastating for rural ND. Rural ND is driven by agriculture, oil puts a lot of money into the state's coffers but it's direct impact is in a much smaller area of the state.
Cramer is kind of lucky with the timing of it all, if this had happened earlier it would be a bigger issue.
